Maruszczyk Elwood L5 A 24 - Flame Maple Top - 3.65 Kilos £800 Bushey

[NickD]

Maruszczyk Elwood L5 A24.

 

The chambered, light version of the Elwood. Coming in at about 3.65 kilos by my bathroom scale.

 

Alder body, with a lovely, subtle flame maple top, that's not too showy, but really comes alive under stage lighting. Maple neck and board with 24 frets plus a zero fret. Balances great on a strap.

 

34 inch scale length, 19mm string spacing.

 

Haussel Pickups, jazz in the neck and a mini-humbucker at the bridge with a series/parallel/single switch. To be honest there's not that much difference to my ears between the series and single settings, but the parallel option gives it a nice additional punch. Delano preamp, with pull passive on the volume knob in case of battery disasters, balance, bass and treble. Comes with a Maruszczyk gig bag which is in good order, has useful pockets and rucksack straps, one of the zip tags has been replaced with a key ring though

 

Sounds great and plays really nicely, it's just not getting much use due to double bass stuff.

 

I'm afraid I don't have the means to ship.

 

£800 collected from Bushey, Herts.

That’s an awful lot of bass for £800!

I came here to say that.
You couldn't buy a Mex. Jazz for that sort of money.

Just to note. On boxing day we'll be traveling up the M1 from junction 5 to... I think it's Junction 32. Basically from here to my folks in South Yorkshire, probably leaving around 10 with a 2pm arrival target. In case there's anyone along that route that may be interested.
